Xena frees several of her former compatriots in order to fight against Agathon, a warrior to whom Ares gave the virtually impenetrable metal of Hephaestus.
Among the warriors was Glaphyra, a woman who became a slave trader who sold men — just men? She specialized in men. She displays a little sisterly solidarity later when Gabrielle is talking with the four ex-cons. One of the men says to Gabrielle, "I know why I'm here. I know why they're here. But what are you here for? Emergency food?" Glaphyra says, "Lay off her, Walsim!" Another one says, "Yeah! She's a princess. Besides ... I can think of one reason to have her around." Glaphyra throws her knife at him. When Xena drops in a moment later, Glaphyra says to her:
- G: "Why do we need these men? Just the two of us. We can do this. Oh, and your friend, if you really think you need her."
- X: I need everybody.
- G: But you know what men are like. They can't be trusted at their word.
G-X relationship notes
G: Am I really who I am, or am I what you made me?
